We have a rule at our house about insects: If they come inside they die. Outside they can live a good long life. This spider had been hanging out by the backdoor but after a frost the other night disappeared. I intend to stick by the rule but I don’t know if I’ll be the one to scoop her up. After taking her photo I feel like we have a personal relationship. I don’t promise anything though.

We had a spider a few years back. He made an elaborate web across the bushes outside our front windows. He went missing for a week or so and reappeared on the side window of our house (it took him some time to work his way around apparently). The kids considered him a pet and named him Dorito. He stayed there for quite a while. He eventually disappeared only to be found on that first warm day in the spring…petrified and hard as a rock between the screen and storm window…He lived a good life and made the most amazing webs 🙂 RIP Dorito

If I had seen her outside my house I would have run screaming and then attempted to find a diff way to get into my house from now on lol. I am not good with big bugs. But I am glad you are enjoying your spider.
